Another Requiem program. Good timing on the 3Lz+3T to the music, and very square on the landing for the 3A. Slightly forward on the 3F. Fairly interesting steps in the footwork sequence, so I wish the transitions were just as interesting. I didn't get a sense of the ethereal, desperately dramatic tone of the piece, though the musicality was good.

Denis Ten

Solid 3A. Clean but wobbly 3Lz+3T. Good 3F. Strong inside edge and speed on the combination spin. Not a bad footwork sequence, but he could work on his position through his back and shoulders for a better line and better balance. I liked the interpretation of the piece, and it shows that he was able to shake his wonky season and develop his artistry.

Ross Miner

An adequate 3A, 3Lz+3T, 3F. While I liked the spread eagle in multiple directions, he needs a lot more hip action to pull off the Latin rhythms. Very much found the upright flying spin with a hop and crossfoot spin interesting. The program was technically fine, but just needs more sass or bravado to match the music. You'll see the difference with Takahashi's Mambo program.
